- If requested to do so, advise the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee on the appointment of auditors to the Jersey Audit Office;
- Review, and if it thinks appropriate, comment on any estimates submitted by the Comptroller and Auditor General to the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee;
- Review the audited accounts of the Jersey Audit Office;
- If it decides to do so, prepare an assurance report on the annual expenses of the Comptroller and Auditor General; and
